Dollytrolley Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Ok.....so maybe it's NOT a Vmachine .....but......just maybe some one is looking for a Tiny cheep to operate HDT with some nice features..... take a gander at the link... https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/hvo/6019025414.html Sure this unit is tiny but consider what is there.......its factory single likely with a 23K drive axle, has a auto-tranny, has a small sleeper just big enough to be titled as Motor Home, and it has BIG fuel likely 3,000 mile range with the M11 stone simple engine AND Henry could cobble a ET hitch while you were at the drive thru at TacoHell........AND it has a enclosed HOG garage for your skooter.......... The M11's are about the smallest engine you will find in a HDT but with the right internal config they easely dial--up to 450 HP and some in emerg service dial in a 550HP .......our M11 is dialed a 3770 Hp / 1350 and is cheeep on fuel with nice power curve...... Not sure what the tranny is on this unit because I can not see any clutch peddle in the pic and the shifter looks like some of the Allisons we have had but not sure what this is since the ad says 10 speeds. This unit could be a real deal for someone looking for a CHEEEEP tower with good basics....... We had a large mix of hardware and the bean counters had tons of numbers that said that the M11 powered units were more than 20% cheeper to operate than the Duramax units and of course a M11 could tow a Duramax backwards at idle........ I had a fleeting thought of picking this rig as a spare smaller Dollytrolley II............shucks I might just stuff this thing into the cargo box of Dollytrolley 1............oh no banish the thought .....too much prune juice..... Drive in..........(where did I leave our spare.....HDT) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks like an Eaton three pedal? I think you're correct about the 23k rear. Also looks like 19.5 wheels? I agree, it might make someone a good, inexpensive hauler.

beyerjf Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks like it might have started life as a single axle "baby 8", common out on the west coast, hauling double flatbeds with hay, construction materials so on... Then someone added a coffin sleeper, also widely available out there, not something Freightliner would have done at the factory. If it runs and drives it is worth $13k IF there are no issues with that very early automated manual. A buddy of mine bought a similar truck brand new in 2000, had so much trouble with the automated manual he traded in on the spot at a dealer doing warranty work 6 months later. They happened to have a brand new Argosy on the lot with a 13 speed. He said if it has a manual transmission in it I will take it. Took a total bath on the whole deal, but he didn't care.

hdonlybob Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I agree on a pretty good deal. Sleeper is a little rustic.. LOL especially if you want to get in it while moving...

Hey Pork.............Indeed it has 3,770 HP/lgt.....(HP-little girlie truck Hp) ......sorta like dog-years......But to get the best liers--MPG I do lug it down to only 16,000 revs....... So I was dribbling some cheep fuel in the Trolley in Fallon NV last year when a young chap pulled up in a jacked up 350000 Dodge with 8" inch stacks and mega-tire--wheels and he started fueling and then walked around the Trolley.........he walks up and says "ya know I just got off the dyno and I pulled 800 ft lbs torque so you could just get a dodge like mine and have all the power you ever need without bothering with this big old lumbering beast......." I grinned and opened the door and pulled binder out from the rack behind the seat and opened up to the power chart and showed it to him and said ..."yup 800 pound is a nice idle but ya gotta be careful I don,t feather the clutch to hard and the Dollymomma will put a lump in my head for giving Dolly-the-paint-horse a jerky ride.......maybe your right I get one of those lower power trucks......" Best could get out of the old DC-7 B with Wright R-3350-32 (3,347 Cu In / 55 L) engines was 3,700 HP /2,800 RPM with old 115/145 fuel but that fuel has been gone for many moons.....drops back to a tad over 2K HP with 100 oct. So now I just get by with whatever the ole Dollytrolley needs to get up the hills at 62 MPH and few hills need much over 20 psi boost so I guess I have power to spare ....... Drive on..........(2 many numbers on the ....keyboard) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyerjf Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Every now and then you read about some "trucker" who in his part time is a serial killer who has his sleeper fully equipped with all the restraints necessary to keep the occupant immobile and quiet. Guess I have been watching too many Criminal Minds episodes. The public relations damage is enormous on those episodes.

noteven Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 As far as the early version Eaton automated trans - I hear there is decent support in the aftermarket? "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive on.......(who......knows) Sounds like the brother of the Peterbilt 359. A guy in South West Tn has for sale. He had taken a 359 Peter and hacked it up. Mounted it on a looked like F450 running gear. And was calling it the best Rv moving around. I think he had it priced at around $18,000. Sad to see a classic chopped up and turned into trash.. OOOHHh well one man's treasures is the next mans trash. Forgot it sounds like the truck in a book I tried to start reading a few weeks back. Guy was driving around the country killing people. Had plastic over over the inside of the sleeper. That way he could wrap up his handy work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
